Welsh 10-mile champs

VAUGHAN BREEZES TO RHYL WIN

A strong headwind on the return stage along the promenade was the greatest challenge former Welsh marathon champion Alun Vaughan faced in the Rhyl 10-mile race.

 The event incorporated the Welsh championships and Vaughan (Eryri) had a surprisingly comfortable win as few athletes made the journey from South Wales.

 He finished in 55.54, with second-place Marc Brown (Keswick) 46 seconds behind, but as he had entered on the day the national title went to third-placed Adam Bull (Aberdare).

 First woman home in 65.39 was Hannah Oldroyd (Saltaire), who  holds numerous Parkrun records, and in second place was Myra Jones (Valley Striders), who won the Conwy Parkrun just 24 hours earlier. The Welsh title went to Amie Bagnall (Salford), who was fourth overall.
